Children's Ministry
Centering Children at St. Paul's looks like Children's Sermons, Children's Chapel, curating activities and care in the PrayGrounds, Celebration of Sacraments, welcomes and farewells.
Highlights
-
We celebrated Youth Sunday in collaboration with teens in May 2023. Children led the processions, lessons and prayers. 2 High School Seniors offered the sermon.
-
We delivered approximately 15 Children's Sermons and hosted a combination of 15 sessions of Sacred Sacristy and Children's Chapels where children sang songs, prayed with one another, and learned through contributing in a small group.
Insights
-
More High School-aged teens are the helping and supporting our children grow in their faith through acolyting and candle-lighting and snuffing, activities in our PrayGrounds, Sacred Sacristies, and Children's Chapels, the Easter Egg Hunt and Christmas Pageant preparations.
-
We hope to offer more service opportunities for families with young children.

Future Community Nights can be Family Nights.
